00:00 We Filipinos are family-centered, right?
00:03 So sometimes, even if we don't have anything left,
00:06 as long as we have a family, it's solved.
00:08 That's right, Madam Lyn.
00:10 We always talk about different money talks and money problems here at...
00:16 Money Fest!
00:18 The song is right!
00:20 This is very important to our beloved Breadwinners.
00:24 Is this how you all enjoy?
00:26 Here.
00:27 Pecha always comes to my house to take a bath.
00:37 He needs to eat for 7 days.
00:42 He needs to eat for 5 days.
00:45 I don't know if I can do this.
00:54 Hi Kuya!
00:56 Kuya, maybe you have extra money.
00:58 You gave me less last time.
01:01 What if we have a lot of projects?
01:03 Okay, Kuya. Please!
01:05 There! Payday!
01:12 Later, let's eat together.
01:14 Yes, it's our payday so let's reserve this.
01:17 What's his name?
01:18 G.
01:19 C.
01:20 I'll take you home.
01:22 Bye!
01:24 I'll take you home.
01:26 Hello, son!
01:31 Are you on your period?
01:33 Maybe you can add a little bit so we can buy your father some medicine.
01:41 I'm sorry, son.
01:49 My blood, my work, and my money.
01:54 I'm going to be a pauper again.
01:56 I know you don't want to be a burden.
02:07 Sometimes, it's hard to survive.
02:09 I can't do this anymore.
02:11 I can't do what I want for myself.
02:15 I can't save money and I'm a breadwinner.
02:19 I thought you were going to cry.
02:21 I shot it right away.
02:23 We're going to have a drama effect here.
02:25 This is a manifesting for our breadwinners who can help their families
02:30 and at the same time, they won't let themselves go.
02:33 That is true.
02:34 It's very important.
02:35 We have a lot of hardworking Filipinos.
02:37 They work so hard for their families and sometimes they tend to forget themselves.
02:40 Yes, there are OFWs with them.
02:42 They send them but they don't have anything to give them.
02:44 But how can you manage the help?
02:48 How can you budget if you're a breadwinner?
02:50 We have a breadwinner and financial expert, Gwen Salmorin.
02:55 Good morning, Gwen!
02:56 Good morning, Madam Gwen!
02:57 Good morning, Mateo and Lin!
02:59 How are you?
03:00 I'm good.
03:01 Very excited for today to add value to our breadwinners watching.
03:05 That's right, Gwen.
03:06 You're a breadwinner yourself.
03:07 That's why you chose this content on social media.
03:10 Yes, proud to be a breadwinner.
03:13 Proud to be a breadwinner.
03:15 So you learned through your experience or course?
03:18 Through experience.
03:19 Through experience.
03:20 This is Gwen.
03:21 We're watching Sean.
03:22 Sean was on our PTR earlier.
03:24 Good job, Sean!
03:25 Good job, by the way, Sean.
03:26 MFF awarding.
03:27 You're the best actor right there.
03:29 Well, he doesn't have an allowance anymore but his brother asked for it.
03:34 That's why he's sending money, right?
03:36 Is there a way to manage the help to the family?
03:41 How do you manage that gap of helping your family and not forgetting about yourself?
03:46 Yes.
03:47 Actually, that's the biggest challenge for the breadwinners that I coach.
03:51 Because they need to find balance between themselves and their families.
03:57 And it's hard because breadwinners are usually raised that after you're done,
04:03 you're the one who will provide for the family.
04:05 That's true.
04:06 And correct me if I'm wrong, there's a lot of guilt instilled.
04:09 Yes, there's a lot of guilt.
04:11 And what happens is that the breadwinners' superhero mentality is formed.
04:16 So I should save them all first before me.
04:19 But then, to my breadwinners, I'm only saying that you guys also have your own dreams,
04:25 your own goals, so you shouldn't forget that.
04:28 And you should also have funds for yourself like emergency fund,
04:33 which should be 3 to 6 months of your income and also other funds for your future self.
04:38 So an emergency fund of 3 to 6 months of your income.
04:41 Yes.
04:42 Keep that aside.
04:43 Yes.
04:44 You should save for yourself.
04:46 But is it really possible to save for yourself?
04:50 Is it possible?
04:51 Yes, there are still ways for you to be able to save.
04:55 Usually, the big chunk of expenses for the breadwinners that I coach will be coming from food,
05:01 transportation, clothing.
05:03 So for food, for example, if you eat out every day,
05:07 you can spend money on cooking.
05:10 I personally meal prep for the week.
05:13 And it's even healthier.
05:14 Yes.
05:15 And it's much cheaper.
05:17 Yes.
05:18 And you can save time because you just eat and it's already hot.
05:22 And then, what else?
05:23 Transportation, if you're used to grab, you can do MRT or…
05:27 Or go to the gym.
05:28 Go to the gym first.
05:29 Or go to the tricycle.
05:30 And then lastly, clothing.
05:31 So if you can still wear it, you can buy it after 13 months.
05:37 So those are the things that you can do.
05:39 A more minimalistic, economic, simpler lifestyle.
05:43 Yes.
05:44 But I would also like to add that for breadwinners, our big difference is we can just limit our expenses up to a certain point.
05:50 So my best advice would always be to increase your income.
05:54 Increase your income.
05:55 But again, it's easier said than done.
05:58 Yes.
05:59 Especially if you're an employee.
06:01 Yes.
06:02 How?
06:03 Yeah, how?
06:04 So for like me, I've been a financial coach for years now.
06:08 So those are the side hustles that I started before.
06:11 And now, it's also one of my main source of income.
06:14 So my advice would be to find your skill, your talent, what God has given you.
06:20 And use it for the extra time that you have after work or weekends.
06:25 So it's really a hustle, but it's really possible.
06:28 Okay, I have a question for you, Gwen.
06:30 For example, our salary is Php 16,000 a month.
06:33 How can we budget that Php 16,000 so that you can still help your family and all their expenses,
06:39 and of course, save and spend for yourself with Php 6,000 a month.
06:43 Php 16,000.
06:44 So does it have a percentage?
06:47 20% for you, 30% for me.
06:49 Is that the percentage?
06:50 Yes, it has.
06:51 So I will teach you the budgeting method that allows you to be able to help your family, but also help yourself.
06:57 So before you teach us, let's go on the board so that we can understand more visually.
07:04 Sometimes you have to be visual.
07:05 So let's show them how.
07:09 Okay let's do this.
07:10 Let me go over here.
07:11 So let's say, this is our pie chart and this is our income.
07:16 So the budgeting rule that I'm going to teach is called 55-5, 10-10, 10-10.
07:24 Rule.
07:25 Okay so that is the budgeting method that will allow you to take care of yourself and your
07:31 family.
07:32 So let's say 55%, this is our expenses.
07:37 Telephone, water, electricity.
07:42 And then 5%, it will go for gifts.
07:46 If you're the type of person who loves to help other people.
07:49 Because I believe that you should also help other people.
07:52 And then 10%, okay, 10% will be going to your emergency fund.
08:00 So that's what we mentioned earlier that you should save in case of emergency.
08:04 So the emergency fund is 3-6 months of savings to just put aside.
08:10 And then another 10%, this is for your financial freedom fund.
08:15 Because one of the challenges of being a breadwinner is that you're also passing the breadwinner
08:20 to the next generation.
08:22 So we need to stop it and that is going to your financial freedom fund.
08:26 That's very important what you said, we need to stop it.
08:28 There has to be a stop.
08:31 And that is what I'm teaching the breadwinners that I coach.
08:34 The sandwich generation should stop with you.
08:38 And then 10%, this is for your educational fund.
08:42 So yes, that's important that you grow, personal growth.
08:47 And then last 10% is for your play fund.
08:50 This is for you to manage your salary, shopping, travel.
08:55 This is for you.
08:56 This is for any, you can eat out for one night, one month.
09:01 And then, how about your family?
09:03 Your family should be included here.
09:06 55%, okay.
09:07 20%, 10-20% is the healthy range.
09:12 And then another is 5% for your insurance.
09:16 Breadwinners need to have insurance for us to help other people.
09:20 Follow my Instagram for the best insurance.
09:22 I was about to point it out.
09:24 But this is very important, Gwen.
09:26 Very, very important.
09:27 And for all of us, the women, and I will take a screenshot of this
09:30 because this is actually very important.
09:32 A lot of women need to infuse this in themselves.
09:36 And stopping the breadwinner mentality.
09:40 Yes, because you don't want to pass the burden to your child.
09:43 Yes, because she's still pregnant.
09:45 She already has a debt.
09:47 Thank you, Gwen.
09:48 Yes, thank you to our financial expert, Gwen Salmorin.
09:53 Thank you so much.
09:54 For more money talks and talking about money problems,
09:57 let's talk about it here at Money Fest.
